This is a part of our Cambodia forums to chat about anything, whether it relates to Cambodia or not. This discussion forum is at the top of our site because it's usually the busiest part of the expat community chatter with random topics on just about everything, including expat life, Khmer politics, Cambodian blogs we have or have come across, or whatever else our members want to discuss. Whether you're an expatriate, tourist, Cambodian or random traveler just passing through South East Asia, you are welcome to talk about anything or start new topics yourselves.

I have got 500 AUD and i am thinking to keep them and get them changed when its value rises up a little bit. I might be wrong but i recalled there was time when 1 AUD equals 0.9 USD. Do you think how long will it take for Australian money to goes up thinking of current economic?

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

A long, long time - fantasies of uranium sales making Australia rich aside... you'd be better off changing it now and sticking it in the bank and earning interest on it.

The latest exchange rate is .76 c $,,, Money exchanges will give you aprox .75 c,, which means you have USA $ 375.
Should you wait say , one year for the rate to go up to .90 , then you will have USA $ 450,,,, an increase of USA $75.

Are you a gambler ? cause the Australian government wants the dollar to go down, but it is doing the opposite.

The best advice I could give would be to change your A$500 when you are happy to do so.

And invest it in a bar.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

so if you wait six months (or six years) you will make about $20 aud extra less any fees

put $500 in amk bank and earn $25 less tax

In 2012/2013 it got up as high as 1.08.
Still, I definitely wouldn't be holding my breath 'til it gets that high, or anywhere near it again.
Much better things you could invest in then the Ozzie $, Samouth.
